L.A. We mean Wine!

You might think the L.A. in the title of this blog post stands for Laura Alberts…or Los Angeles (get a grip, we’re on the East Coast). WRONG! L.A. means LIMITED AVAILABILITY! We’ve got some of the most highly allocated WINE in the biz. If you’ve got a boss to impress, a woman to wine over,….yes wine over, or want to celebrate the 4th of July flaunting some of the best and rarest grape juice in the land – look no further than Laura Alberts!

A phone call away…

Leonetti 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley: Not just another Cab. This baby is aged 22 months (that’s almost 2 years!) in NEW and Neutral French Oak barrels. It’s mostly juice from Cabernet grapes, however, it’s got a little bit of Carmenere, Malbec & Merlot juice mixed in for a stellar taste. Don’t take our word – take Robert Parker’s. He sat down with this bottle of wine and rated it 93 pts good, which means this Cab is the kind of wine that MAKES occasions. $85 per bottle. Also available in 6 pack case, so you can share with the worthiest of friends.

Leonetti 2008 Merlot Walla Walla Valley: 100% Merlot aged 15 months in NEW and used French Oak. This baby’s smooth. 91 pts from Robert Parker, so it’s palatable for the snobs. Everyone knows that Merlot is the kind of wine you open Monday night, have a glass (and sweet dreams) and by Wednesday/Thursday the wine has loosened it’s belt and gotten down to business with flavor. $70 per bottle. Also available in 6 pack cases! This wine ain’t no one night stand – it’ll stay good all week.

Quintessa 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley: Click the link for the specs. The farmers will tell you that the 2005 harvest lingered in a state of bliss through the fall which allowed the grapes to fully mature. Thats is farmer talk. Robert Parker will tell you that he sat down with the bottle and it aced it’s first exam: 94 pts. That’s a high mark for Professor Parker to give! We will tell you to call 843-881-4711 or get your ass over here to Laura Alberts because there are only 24 bottles…yes, 2 cases left in the state of South Carolina! That’s right! This wine is only a phone call away for us. Please, if you need a bottle of this vintage for your collection, call or contact us immediately. $130 per bottle. 24 bottles left in SC.

North Coast Brewing Beer Dinner (6/24)

For those of you who get this newsletter, thanks for scrolling down this far! Perhaps I could offer you a tidbit of information that the others, who didn’t scroll down this far, might pay to know! North Coast brewery pulled out of South Carolina late last year, but now they are back, hitting local bars and retailers with their ever-strong portfolio of top-quality brews. We are excited to have a 4-course/5-beer dinner hosted by a representative for the Fort Bragg-based brewery. However, our dinner won’t just be the old North Coast lineup you can find at your local beverage chain store, we’re bringing in the good stuff. Rumor has it, we’re getting something completely outrageous for the dinner and the dinner only! When the brewery tells us what it is, you’ll be the first to know! The current lineup is as follows: Brother Thelonious, Le Merle, Pranqster, & Old Rasputin. The 5th beer is TBA and as promised, will be something uber special! The Menu is being crafted as we speak and will be posted to the website in a few days! If this dinner is already tickling your tastebuds and beer cravings, you may want to book a seat, it will probably sell out. For Reservations phone 843-881-4711.
